Privacy is Dead: The Unfiltered Reality of Cybersecurity | Rob Chaykoski
Episode notes
Most people hear the word "cybersecurity" and assume it is a massive corporation's problem. They think a simple compliance checklist means a system is secure. They are wrong.
In this episode of The Conversations with Florid, I sit down with Rob Chaykoski—a lead security engineer and veteran cybersecurity professional—to strip away the tech jargon and face a harsh reality: our modern digital infrastructure is heavily reliant on technology built in the 1960s and 1970s, and true privacy is an illusion.
As developers and founders building the next wave of AI and SaaS applications, we are often on the front lines of these threats. Rob and I discuss the critical difference between actual security and bare-minimum compliance, why artificial intelligence still desperately needs real human intelligence, and why grassroots tech communities are becoming our strongest line of defense.
We go deep on the vulnerabilities nobody wants to admit exist.
